Malcolm wrote on 26/02/15Although the euro rate I received was good compared to others, the service was terrible at the swindon branch. I arrived at 2.30 to collect my money only to find the travel desk was closed between 2pm and 3pm with apologies etc for this inconvenience, I returned at 2.50 to wait for the office to open, 3pm arrived and went with no sign of anyone, by this time (approx 10 to 15 mins later) two other customers had turned up we did press a button at the click and collect desk next to the money office to see if we could attract some attention but you've guessed it no one turned up, we eventually asked a member of staff if the money person was around she didn't know and went to find her, when she arrived she was very unhelpful and abrupt with no apology for being late.

Andrew wrote on 27/02/15Ordered Wednesday about 2:45pm, arrived Friday 10:45. I ordered after the next day cut off delivery by 45 minutes so It arrived Friday, no big deal. I even gave them a call on Thursday to find out how my order was doing, nice guy on the phone. Gave me an update on when I'd receive etc. In regards to all these people giving negative reviews I have no doubt in my mind that some of them are correct as companies do mess up, but It's not ICICI banks fault if you enter in the wrong details and you fail the verification so it's unfair to give them a low rating. One small problem, I received 26 x 50 dollar nopes, 7 x 20 dollar notes, 4 x 10 dollar notes and 4, 5 dollar notes. Not a very goo mix, but personally for me I don't mind as I will just go to the bank in the US to change some of the 50's. Thanks ICICI. Read more

Derek wrote on 25/02/15I ordered from this bank before and found they were very good. Ordered today at 09:16 and given a rate of 9.5 to the £ . Look 5 hours later and the rate was nearer 11.5. Why I do not know. Also there is only a 20 minute slot within which to cancel the order with a £20 penalty. I could not find this on their website so beware!!!!!!!

I am homeowner, no debt etc. etc. so complained but it did me no good. Anyway, went to Telegraph Travel. Easy peasy - simple order process online. Ordered Friday so asked for delivery Monday - the money arrived Saturday morning - and nice crispy Dom. Rep. peso notes they were. The mad bit - the blurb that accompanied the money revealed that the forex transaction was done by - yep you guessed it " Moneycorp". How weird is that?

Unhappy Customers wrote on 15/10/14Just been down the local RBS branch to wire-transfer Euros abroad. The quote I received was ridiculous. Compared to actual FX market, the first quote would have ripped me off by 300, upon challenging, they got a "live" quote which was still 200 Sterling away from where the market is trading. Reminds one of "The Sting" with Paul Newman, a movie about horse racing and bucket shops. Read more

Ray wrote on 01/03/12There is no point writing about your experience down at your local RBS on this site. These reviews should be for the web based service only.

Buy Euros Online

If you're travelling to Europe soon you'll want to get the best deal on your Euros. Our free comparison service compares the best Euro rates from the biggest currency suppliers in the UK so you can see at a glance who is offering the top deals. We are currently comparing 23 suppliers selling Euros in the UK with exchange rates ranging from 1.2961 to 1.3512.

But wait, it gets better! Many of the top suppliers listed above offer us exclusive exchange rates that are better than any other website which means if you order through us you could save even more money. We are so confident that you won't find better Euro exchange rates on any other UK website that we challenge you to let us know if you find a better deal!

The Euro is the standard unit of currency used in the European economic and monetary union colloquially referred to as the Eurozone. It is the second most traded currency in the world after the US Dollar; and is used by more than 330 million people on a daily basis. With over €800bn in circulation, the Euro has the highest combined value of banknotes and coins in the world, the second largest currency reserves in the world, and supports over 10 additional smaller currencies that are pegged to it by means of a fixed exchange rate.

In July 2013 Croatia became the 28th member of the European Union but they have not joined the Euro. If you are planning on visiting Croatia you will still need to buy Croatian Kunas.

Euros are issued and managed by the European Central Bank based in Frankfurt and a collection of Eurozone central banks known as the Eurosystem. Although most EU member states are obliged to adopt the Euro as their national currency, there are some notable exceptions. These include the United Kingdom and Denmark who negotiated exemptions and Sweden who opposed the Euro and deliberately failed to meet the monetary requirements needed to adopt it.

Euros are stocked by every bureau de change and currency house in the UK. This means competition is strong and exchange rates can be very competitive, so it is wise to compare rates online before you buy. Because competition is so high the profit margins can be very slim and this means that some suppliers are only available over certain limits, £700 for example. Other currencies are not always held in stock so you would have to order them in. Our statistics show that the average order value for Euros is around £1016 (€1,098 as of 18th November 2013 and based on the data from 1st of August to 31st of October, 2013), but the most common amount taken on holiday by Brits is nearer £500 (€586).

Euro Exchange Rate History

7 Days

Over the past week the Euro has increased by 0.37% from last Wednesday's rate of 1.3462 to today's rate of 1.3512 which means £750 will buy you €3.75 more now than it would have a week ago.

During this period the best rate we recorded was 1.3592 on Sunday and the worst rate was 1.3462 on Wednesday.

30 Days

The Euro is currently 3.44% higher than it was 30 days ago on 2nd February, having increased from 1.3063 to today's rate of 1.3512. In real terms, £750 will buy you €33.68 more now than it would have 30 days ago.

The best rate over this period was 1.3592 on 1st March and the worst rate was 1.3052 on 3rd February.

90 Days

The 90-day outlook has seen the Euro rate increase by 7.77% from 1.2538 on 4th December 2014 to 1.3512 today. Based on these figures, £750 will buy you €73.05 more today than it would have three months ago.

We recorded a high rate of 1.3592 on 1st March 2015 and a low rate of 1.2427 on 15th December 2014.

18 of the 28 member states of the European Union accept Euros as their main currency which includes Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Lativa, Luxembourg, Malta, The Netherlands, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and Spain, with Lithuania set to adopt the Euro from 1st January 2015. In addition to the above there are five other countries in Europe whom also have monetary agreements to accept the Euro as their main currency which includes Andorra, Monaco, San Marino, Vatican City and Montenegro who have no official agreement but do accept the Euro.

If you are a British passport holder you do not need a visa to enter any of the countries listed above provided your stay is for less than 90 days. If you wish to stay for longer than 90 days or would like to apply for a work permit you should check with the embassy of the country you are visiting for any visa and entry requirements.

If you are travelling to Ireland you do not need a passport as Ireland is included in the common travel area of the UK but you should still take adequate photographic identification with you.

If you are travelling to San Marino they have slightly different rules on entry requirements. If you are staying for less than 20 days, your hotel or host will need to report your stay to the local Foreigners Office. If you are staying for longer than 20 days you must apply for a tourism or a work permit depending on your circumstances.

We've teamed up with HolidayExtras.com to provide you with a quick and easy way to buy travel insurance online for you and your family. Choose from single trip cover to multi-trip insurance that will last for one year.
